New wine bar and restaurant downtown. Really liked this place. Great swanky atmos. Serves all California wines that feature all of the big names as well as the new up and comming winerys in the state. Nate and I met a couple for dinner and started out with oysters and warm goeat cheese with toasted almonds. the oysters were fresh and the goat cheese was to die for. Served with whole roasted garlic, roasted red pepper and toast points. Very good. Had the macadamia encrusted sea bass, served on jasmine rice with a Vietnamese cucumber salads and a coconut curry sauce. Great combo. Nate had the filet served with celery root puree and a red wine demi-glaze. It was decent. Being from the midwest, I have had my share of good beef so I would have to say that Crush’s specialty is seafood. Dim, not dark. Soft lighting, stylish, and fun.
